Idina Menzel - For The First Time In Forever lyrics

rate me

The window is open, so is that door

I didn't know they did that anymore

Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?

For years I've roamed these empty halls

Why have a ballroom with no balls?

Finally they're opening up the gates.

There'll be actual real live people, it'll be totally strange

But wow, am I so ready for this change?

Cause for the first time in forever

There'll be music, there'll be light.

For the first time in forever

I'll be dancing through the night.

Don't know if I'm elated or gassy

But I'm somewhere in that zone

Cause for the first time in forever,

I won't be alone!

I can't wait to meet everyone!

What if I meet the one?

Tonight imagine me gowned and all,

Fetchingly draped against the wall

The picture of sophisticated grace.

Oh, I suddenly see him standing there

A beautiful stranger, tall and fair

I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face.

But then we laugh and talk all evening,

Which is totally bizarre

Nothing like the life I've led so far.

For the first time in forever

There'll be magic, there'll be fun!

For the first time in forever

I could be noticed by someone!

And I know it is totally crazy

To dream I'd find romance

But for the first time in forever,

At least I've got a chance.

Don't let them in, don't let them see,

Be the good girl you always have to be.

Conceal, don't feel, put on a show,

Make one wrong move and everyone will know.

But it's only for today,

It's only for today!

It's agony to wait,

It's agony to wait!

Tell the guards to open up the gate,

The gate!

For the first time in forever

(Don't let them in, don't let them see)

I'm getting what I'm dreaming of

(Be the good girl you always have to be)

A chance to change my lonely world

(Conceal)

A chance to find true love

(Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know)

I know it all ends tomorrow, so it has to be today

Cause for the first time in forever

For the first time in forever

Nothing's in my way!
